You could make the case he nearly KO'd Ali in the eleventh. I wouldn't personally, & it would certainly help if Ali'd fallen at that point, but I think the case can be made.

Perhaps his 60s form would have fared better against Foreman. I do however feel if they both
met as they were in 1969 as they were then Frazier would have won.

With the apparent downgrading of Frazier's status, where does that now leave Muhammad's Ali's legacy?

First time I've ever heard it described as 'a near KO', Kym. I suppose he was nearly KO'd by Henry Cooper as well? Any other near KO's I should be aware of?Robinson wrote:IN 1971 ';)Collins2000 wrote:Robinson wrote: I agree and do think that Foreman for the most part did. HOWEVER I think Frazier became a little

Paddy Dolan will be smiling down on you now. Although he never ever answered any of the questions you put to him, I always felt he had a soft spot for you.

Collins,
I doubt he had a soft spot for me...if he did, it mostly had more to do
with me being Irish.
